Conservatives are traitors to our nation and enemies of the American people.
Any doctor who actually denies treatment over political affiliation or marital status should immediately and irrevocably lose their license.
I’m pretty sure that actually doing this would violate their medical licensing, regardless of VA rules.
Just sue them into oblivion, the money won’t come from the taxpayers this time.
Denying care to veterans (i.e. people potentially with extensive weapons and combat training and, perhaps desperately, in need of healing to feel okay and socially stable) seems like a great way for health care professionals to find themselves at the business end of anger-fueled reactions.
It’s obviously by design. They’re hoping the affected vets will take it out on the medical personnel. And the worst part is they’re probably right.
“Oh you voted Republican? Sorry you voted to deny this care, goodbye”
“Wait not like that”
Of course that won’t actually happen, because an ethical doctor would treat people regardless.
“the best I can do is horse medicine”
Doctors could just stop working for VA hospitals cuz they don’t want to worry about being fired due to the same reasons.
Sorry veterans, your president has disincentivized doctors wanting to work in VA hospitals.
Don’t medical personnel have to take a Hippocratic oath? And doesn’t that supersede changing laws?
I suppose in real life, cash is king, and morality is decided by the amount of digits in your bank account.
Sort of. We’re already seeing it with abortions; doctors are doing the best they can to give people necessary care, while also trying to not violate the law.
This has already resulted in deaths.
And honestly I don’t blame them. Even if they break the law to save one life, they can’t treat anyone when they’re jailed.
If only there were signs that this was going to happen… buy the ticket, take the ride!
Fuck this sentiment.
Only about a 3rd of us “bOuGhT tHe TiCkEt” so the rest of us get to complain all we want.
Just like the rest of us who are not in that country but have to deal with your choices are free to bitch and sling mud.
Active duty and former military voted overwhelmingly for this.
Sorry for the folks who got fucked over, but as for the ones who voted for it, enjoy that bed.
And another third stayed home because both tickets were same or something.
Yeah, it’s weird how “both sides” but none of this nonsense bullshit was happening just a few months ago when Democrats were calling the shots.
Conservative leadership always leads to instability. Always.
